A Garden: The Birds Arrive is an earthwork and experimental garden at the Albuquerque Museum located in the sculpture garden right off Mountain Rd NW. This project was conceived, designed, and created by Land Arts of the American West and 7th regen, in conjunction with SeedBroadcast’s exhibition “Seed: Climate Change Resilience” coming in 2019.

Land Arts of the American West designed concentric planting beds radiating from a central existing pine tree and seeded these with Middle Eastern and Asian heritage grains emmer, spelt, Sonoran Wheat, and Cache Valley Rye as a winter cover crop. In the summer, local indigenous amaranth will succeed the grains. As an experiment, the garden employs two varying methods for production: dryland farming waffle gardens and drip irrigation beds. It also accommodates the shadow line of the building. A light installation will cast shadows of the growing plants on the building wall at night.

The garden aims to be an area for artistic installation and future community engagement. 7th regen has created a steel portal of three half arches reminiscent of sheafs of grain and a mud stenciled phrase, “I wait for the birds to tell me when grain is ready,” spoken by Tiana Baca of the Desert Oasis Teaching Garden. The name of the garden/installation – “The Birds Arrive” – was adapted from Baca’s quote and the acronym TBA (to be announced). This project is about possibility, variability, and engagement.

This symposium is designed to start a casual dialogue that addresses the logistics of being real-world participants in our fields together, but also to address the ethical behaviors involved in being a better scholar, creator, and archivist of shared knowledge today without the ego-driven desire to get credit first, but be credible later.

Bios

On his compulsive own, Eugene Chadbourne (previously the guitarist and leader of Shockabilly) has spewed forth a ceaseless stream of records and cassettes (the latter on his own Parachute label) that easily represent the oddest version of country and folk music ever. While the notable left-winger’s guitar playing is looser than clams, it harbors wildly unique energy. He also plays the electric rake. The North Carolinian is the master of several different voices, some of them deceptively sincere. Harsh, funny, irritating and packed with ideas, Chadbourne often suggests a politically correct Frank Zappa. He has collaborated with an astounding number of artists over the years, including Camper Van Beethoven, John Zorn, Henry Kaiser, and Jimmy Carl Black.

Ryan Seward is a percussionist, improviser, and composer based in Denver, Colorado.

Alan Zimmerman is an Albuquerque-based percussionist working in the fields of contemporary classical and improvised music.
